Time to have some fun!
Well, I just retired from work yesterday! Time to start enjoying the shop on my terms!

Re: Time to have some fun!
Congratulations RSG, I highly recommend it. I have about ten years of it under my belt and still haven't run out of things to do.
Good luck and enjoy whatever you choose to do.

Re: Time to have some fun!
amen,
You will always wonder why you did not go sooner. Never look back.

Re: Time to have some fun!
Agreed. I retired when I was 54. My only regret, thus far, is that it didn't happen sooner, but that was not to be.
Congrats, RSG. Now you'll have more time (with a little luck) to pursue those beautiful reels you make.

Rule #1: DO NOT reorganize your wife's kitchen (or even try to move the hand towels).
Congratulations! You will wonder very soon, how you ever had time to go to work.
I was hired at my last job at 62 and retired at 71 and have been having fun ever since.

Congratulations! I figure I'm going to be working until they put me in a box...

Thanks for the kind words guys! Four days in and I've done more than a couples of weeks worth of work in the office.....
Everyone says you'll wonder why you didn't go sooner. I'm beginning to understand.
Oh, and Earlgo! thanks for the advice, I take it this is advice coming from someone who has tried? LOL

Re: Time to have some fun!
RSG it was advise given to me at my retirement lunch. I thought it might be true, and after 6 years, I tried it only a couple of times, after long consultations and verifications. Just pick your battles carefully.

Re: Time to have some fun!
Yes; I just bought a new hobby. My neighbors think it's a car.
If I was working, I wouldn't have time to work.
The only trouble is that the work I do now costs money instead of earning money.
I often have to stop working because I just can't afford it.
